it has to be sold by amazon to get the free shipping
They sell chocolate bars and granola bars.
Might go with one of those Trail Mix bars or Pringles if I can't find anything. Thanks!
lol, I wonder if anyone has actually bought those. Seems good for a laugh, but I'm too lazy to make molded chocolate.

Clicking this really spiced up my Recently Viewed Items and Featured Recommendations list. Who knew there was such a large market for erotic candy molds.
Take a single colour of gummy bears and put them in a cup and microwave them until they melt then pour it into the mold. Let cool and you have topless gummies!

Just got an email for Megadimension Neptunia VII being $0.97 but of course it's Best Buy's email alerts which email you like a day after you can do anything about it.

Its been like that for far longer than a day. It was like that when I went to go get 7th Dragon last week. Probably been on that super clearance even longer though.
This reminds me I really should go through the first 3 games on Steam. I played through this one a month after it came out and had a good time. More so than with Star Ocean 5.

You have to wonder how many people actually get the clearance games at those prices. Two?
$50 is a fair price? I dunno about that.

In my mind it was 40$ on amazon.com but it's actually 30$ so might as well get it on amazon.com(which I did months ago anyway).
It shipped fine? I got $10 in credit from Zero Time Dilemma and would be down to get Gravity Rush.

God I miss Canada Post.
I had something (very important) coming in through Purolator for some ungodly reason. It was supposed to come in 1 day, took them a week to get it to Ottawa, only for them not to even try to deliver, completely ignore their "leave it at the door" notice that I put on my door, and for them to have a "please pick it up at our counter." But which one? It doesn't say online and says to contact them. I assume their depot but it's a 40 minute drive out there so I'm not going unless I'm sure. So I do the live chat, get told that they need a "tracing specialist" to look into it, that it would take 24-48 hours if they get back to me at all (which they wouldn't).
Thankfully I managed to get someone from the support line of the shipper to call Purolator, wait more than an hour on their support line, to be told that yes it's at the depot.
Fuck this.
I have 2 more (significantly less important) things coming through them. I really hope they show up without needing to go through this again.

Not everyone wants a digital copy...

In this case why wouldn't you though? It's far cheaper than the physical copy.

so you'd rather spend $30 more instead of going for the best option? thats really stupid

He likes collecting and displaying cases.
He wants to resell it or let a friend borrow it.
If something happens to his PSN, his digital collection is gone.
There are lots of reasons someone would buy physical.

OK, we all know that some people prefer to get things digitally if it's cheaper and others will pay more to get a physical copy.
Let's move on.

The best option is the option that you will be happy with.

What do you guys think: is NHL 16 worth it / a good game for $10? I'd play some casual Online versus matches and maybe delve into Be a GM mode if it's any good. I thought it was pretty mediocre in NHL 15. I wish the new features in that mode coming to NHL 17 were in 16. I love stuff like managing ticket prices and marketing.
like a regular sized box (5 bars)? I see those for $1.99 all the time...
Well I don't, but for scientific purposes I want to know where.

Granola bars are $2 more often than not. The sizes have really gone down, which explains why they're still at that price point.
Check Superstore, No Frills, Wal-Mart, etc.
Back to school is coming up too so they'll be going on sale more often.

Yep =(
Also Quaker Chewie Granola bars used to be 8 per pack (Dipps were 6), but now they're also 6 per pack.

One annoying thing now is how many games are pretty heavily dependent on PSN and, although the base game is available on disc, too much of its DLC is basically essential and renders the disc-only pointless, Destiny and Street Fighter V being two quick examples.
$1.88 on Amazon.ca

That's for digital though...
It's cool that XSeed is making a physical version.
Was a day 1 backer for digital though. So none of that for me.
Kind of irked that it's coming out a few days before FFXV too.

Anyone know where to get a good gaming mouse cheap? My G502 died last night, and Best Buy are being dickbags about covering my Future Shop warranty.
cool. I might get it from BB for the 10x reward zone pts.

I don't know if I want to see the Candian price for that. I'm bummed that the Gold steelbook is a US exclusive, I would have dished out an extra bit to have it.
